"Secretary He, Director Wu needs the car, so I have to head back."

"Alright, you go ahead."

When Wang Dahai returned to the parking lot, Wu Qiangwei was already waiting there.

Normally, she would have surely asked Dahai where he had been.

But today, she didn't ask.

Her expression was indifferent, yet the thick worry between her brows was unmistakable to Dahai.

The two got into the car, and Wu Qiangwei said, "To the Education Bureau."

Hearing this, Dahai knew that everything He Wen had said was true.

Wu Qiangwei had indeed been troubled by this issue recently.

This visit was likely to establish a connection with the Education Bureau.

However, being new to the area, her network certainly couldn't match that of Hu Quan, a local who had been deeply rooted here for many years.

Twenty minutes later, they parked at the Education Bureau.

As Wu Qiangwei got out of the car and saw Dahai following, she said, "You wait for me in the car."

"I'll come with you."

"What for?"

"To see the situation."

Wu Qiangwei sighed, seemingly in agreement.

They entered the Education Bureau and were guided by the staff to the Director's office.

Wu Qiangwei gently knocked on the door, and soon a woman's voice responded from inside.

Opening the door, Dahai was surprised—the Director of the Education Bureau was a woman?

The woman, with her long hair tied in a ponytail and clad in a lady's suit, looked slender, mature, and dignified.

Judging by her appearance alone, she might be in her early twenties.

But her composed demeanor and the air of authority that came with seniority weren't something a young girl in her twenties would possess.

The woman put on her rimless glasses, saw who had come in, stood up, and smiled, "It's Director Wu from Qihang Education, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's me."

Wu Qiangwei was equally dignified and imposing, her prominent figure and appearance overwhelming.

She walked over and shook the woman's hand.

"Director Han, nice to meet you."

"Please, have a seat."

They sat down, and Dahai stood to the side.

Dahai had thought Wu Qiangwei was here to give gifts, but they just talked the entire time.

After chatting for over half an hour, Dahai was nearly nodding off.

"Lingcheng has a Japanese restaurant that's said to be quite good; Director Han, could you honor us with your presence this evening?"

"That's really unfortunate, but I have some matters tonight and can't make it."

"That's truly a pity."

After they left, Dahai said, "No gift?"

Wu Qiangwei sighed somewhat helplessly, "Who brings gifts the first time they meet? Without even knowing what kind of person she is, blindly giving gifts is a big taboo."

Dahai scratched his head; he didn't understand these things.

On the way back, Dahai asked, "Was it Hu Quan who reported it?"

Wu Qiangwei glanced at him, "You knew?"

"Yeah, I met He Wen for coffee this morning and asked."

"Oh." Wu Qiangwei's suppressed heart felt a bit of warmth.

No wonder Dahai wasn't in the car this morning—he had been meeting with He Wen.

She knew Dahai must have noticed a change in her mood.

Thinking about how much he cared, Wu Qiangwei felt much relieved.

Arriving at the company's building, Dahai felt he had to do something.

Although he was just a driver, he believed in taking action.

He didn't think there was a problem that couldn't be solved.

With that thought, he jumped on his motorcycle and headed directly for the Education Bureau.

He didn't know much about gift-giving etiquette, nor how to give gifts.

But he knew that everyone had needs.

As long as he figured out what the other person needed, and targeted that, the solution would surely come.

He waited outside the Education Bureau until noon.

Wu Qiangwei sent a message: "What are we eating for lunch?"

"Go and eat yourself if you have something to do."

"What's the matter?"

"It's a big deal!"

Wu Qiangwei was quite curious, but since Dahai didn't say anything, she didn't ask either.

After putting down his phone, Wang Dahai saw Director Han come out.

Dahai rode his motorcycle directly over.

Director Han approached a car and had just opened the door when she saw Dahai approaching.

Wang Dahai took off his helmet and revealed a smile, "Director Han."

"You are..." Director Han felt she looked familiar and after thinking a bit, she remembered, "Wang?"

"It's me," Wang Dahai said, "Chairman Zhao's driver, Wang Dahai."

Director Han frowned slightly; she had a pretty good impression of Wu Qiangwei.

Young and pretty, with strong capabilities.

She understood why he came to her today.

But relationships aren't built overnight, and the other party obviously understood this as they hadn't come bearing gifts right away.

But now, why send a driver over?

"Do you have any errands for Director Wu?"

"It has nothing to do with Director Wu," Wang Dahai said, "I came on my own."

"Oh? You have something for me?"

"Yes!" Wang Dahai said earnestly, "Director Han, if you have anything you need in the future, you can count on me to handle it."

Director Han listened, baffled and didn't snap back to reality for a while.

She had struggled through the system for so many years and seen all kinds of people.

But she had never met someone as direct as Wang Dahai, and she didn't know quite what to say.

Wang Dahai continued, "For instance, running errands, shopping, cooking, things like that, you can ask me. Oh, and I studied medicine in university, so for minor ailments, you can consult me. Also, I've worked as a massage therapist; I'm quite skilled at massage and orthopedics."

Director Han grew more and more confused as she listened.

But she understood that Wang Dahai was trying to curry favor with her.

No, it was Wu Qiangwei who wanted to curry favor with her.

"Did Wu Qiangwei send you?" she asked coolly.

Wang Dahai shook his head, "Like I said, it has nothing to do with Director Wu."

"Heh."

Director Han scoffed, got into her car, closed the door, and left.

Wang Dahai didn't feel awkward.

He got on his motorcycle and followed at a distance.

He followed her to a high school, where he saw her pick up a girl.

That must be her daughter.

Then, Director Han drove back to a residential complex and entered an apartment building.

Throughout it all, Wang Dahai didn't hide his presence, and Director Han naturally saw him.

She ignored him.

She had seen many people who tried to gain her favor, but Wang Dahai was the first to be so direct.

She had her own way of handling it: just ignore it.

Wang Dahai casually grabbed some food nearby, then continued to wait downstairs.

He actually knew that his behavior would be off-putting.

But as a man with neither power nor background, he had no other options.

If he hadn't accompanied Wu Qiangwei to see her today, he could have made contact covertly.

Like how he had approached Lu Wen and Ning Mei.

He would find a suitable opportunity to help her and make her grateful.

But the problem was, Director Han had already seen him.

And even if she hadn't, using this method to make her feel indebted, once she knew he knew Wu Qiangwei,

with her insight and experience, she could guess almost instantly that he was deliberately approaching her.

Instead of going around in circles, it was better to be direct.

What he lacked now was an opportunity!

An opportunity to prove himself in front of Director Han.

Once such an opportunity arose, Director Han's attitude toward him would naturally change.

Opportunities only come to those who are prepared, Wang Dahai believed. By following her around the clock, he would eventually get his chance.

And this persistence didn't disappoint him; the opportunity came quicker than he had imagined…
